How much warmth the garment provides. Lower ratings favour breathability and mobility, while higher ratings mean maximum warmth for extreme cold, often using high-loft down or synthetic insulation.
5

The garment's ability to keep water out. Lower ratings are for water-resistant or showerproof materials that handle light rain, while higher ratings signify full waterproofing with sealed seams and durable water repellent (DWR) coatings for prolonged exposure.
5

How well the garment resists wind penetration. A lower rating means the fabric allows some air movement for better breathability, while a higher rating indicates a near-complete wind barrier, reducing windchill in exposed conditions.

Waterproof jacket

Really like the features and finish on the jacket. Particularly like the length and the way it is shaped at the back. So many other jackets seem very short.

Great Jacket

This jacket is great, really waterproof and is a really nice fit in the body. The only slight negative is that the arms are really long.

Great jacket but leaky pockets

Really enjoy wearing the jacket and the style really makes walking in the hills a comfortable experience. The issue, however is pockets that allow water to enter and form puddles. I can’t use them in the rain

Thanks for the feedback, Christine.

While our water-repellent zippers are highly resistant, they are not 100% waterproof. We recommend not storing items that could be damaged by moisture in the external pockets during heavy rain. We are glad you otherwise like the jacket.

Acheté il y a un an

Veste achetée il y a un an qui m'a satisfaite par ces modes de réglages et son imperméabilité qui n'a pas durée. En effet, celà fait 1an que je la porte, j'ai suivie les conseils d'entretien mais lorsqu'il pleut, je me retrouve entièrement mouillé en dessous. Je trouve ça décevant après 1an et 450eu...j'aurais pensé que la veste aurait tenue dans le temps mais à croire que non...
Je suis très déçue.

Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention.

We're sorry to hear that the waterproofness of your Orkan has diminished. While our jackets are designed with eVent® fabric and Direct Venting™ technology for lasting waterproofness, over time and with regular use, the DWR coating can wear off. This is a common occurrence with waterproof garments and can be remedied with proper maintenance.

To restore the jacket's waterproofing, we recommend cleaning it according to the care instructions and then reapplying a DWR treatment. This process helps to revive the fabric's ability to repel water, ensuring that the jacket continues to perform as expected. If you need guidance on this process, our customer service team would be more than happy to assist.

If following these maintenance steps doesn't restore your jacket's waterproofing, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. We're here to assist and will investigate the matter further.

Kind regards,
The Fjern Team

Already happy with this!

Just got one of these and wore it out in a big downpour. Obviously it's waterproof but the longer sleeves and really effective large hood make such a difference to actually staying dry and this jacket does a great job. I'm normally a 10/12. Bought this in a 12 to allow room for layers and it's just right. It feels robust for a mid weight waterproof and I like the finish/colours. I bought this primarily for walking but can see it would work as a ski jacket. Very happy!

Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Rebecca! We're happy to hear that the Orkan is serving it's intended purpose of keeping you completely dry. Your insights about the longer sleeves, effective hood, and sizing are greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,
The Fjern Team

Not as good as expected.,

I like this coat and was excited to have a new waterproof for hiking. Sadly having had it for a little while with no issues (a year maybe) it has let me down. Walking in Lake District in the rain (of course) and this jacket let in enough moisture for my internal jacket to be super damp on the outside. The wetness of the sleeves made it really uncomfortable. It also didn’t dry well over night. Shame as it looks great, but perhaps a rainy day on a longer hike is just too much.

Dear Rhiannon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Orkan Jacket. We are sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations. We take all feedback seriously and will use your comments to improve our product.

We understand how frustrating it can be to have a jacket that does not perform as expected, especially during outdoor activities. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

To help resolve this issue, we would like to suggest reactivating the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on your jacket. Over time, the DWR coating can wear off and affect the jacket's waterproofing capabilities. By reactivating the DWR, you can restore the jacket's ability to repel water. We recommend using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment, which can be found at most outdoor retailers. Please see our product care guide for more information. https://www.fjern.equipment/pages/product-care

If you would like to discuss this further or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Best regards,

Great jacket, Love it, light comfortable and waterproof

Light, comfortable and waterproof with good hood adjustment

Orkan ladies jacket

I have worn jacket in heavy rain and remained dry. Excellent product.

Hello, I have the Fjern women’s aktiv jacket in size small. I’m looking at the orkan jacket. Do I need to go to size M to put the orkan on top of the aktiv? Or stick to size small?
My measurements are within the Fjern size small. (82 cm-70cm-97 cm)
Thank you

Fjern

The Orkan is cut to allow for layering, so there’s no need to size up unless you prefer a looser fit. :-)

How do you maintain the waterproofing? Do you need to wash with a specific waterproof solution?

Fjern

Thank you for your enquiry, Aprile. We're here to assist you with maintaining the waterproofing of your Orkan jacket.

Preserving the waterproof qualities of your jacket is a straightforward process. You have flexibility in deciding how often to wash it. Generally, it's a good practice to clean the jacket after each use if it becomes dirtied, as accumulated dirt can gradually impact its performance. However, if your jacket sees regular use, we recommend washing it at least once a month to ensure it stays in optimal condition.

When washing, please adhere to the following instructions: Avoid machine washing the jacket at temperatures exceeding 40°C, and make sure to use a non-bio detergent. For further washing guidelines, we've provided a detailed resource about eVent washing instructions on our website: https://www.fjern.equipment/blogs/the-workshop/event-care-instructions

If you find that your jacket is no longer repelling water effectively, and standard washing doesn't reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, we suggest reapplying a DWR treatment. This can be accomplished either in the washing machine or via a spray treatment. While we offer our own treatments (available in the UK only), we also recommend Grangers or Nikwax as reliable alternatives.

Is this jacket pfc free?

Fjern

Hi Emma,

At the moment we use C6 DWR for our Orkan jacket, which is not PFC free. Our Forsvar Eco Waterproof jacket is PFC free.
